Psalm 123

A Song of degrees.

1. Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You Who dwell in the heavens.

2. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to the LORD our God until He shall have mercy upon us.

3. Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud oppressors.
